Lovely vintage Trifari polished gold tone leaf brooch from the 1970's.  An elegant and timeless piece of jewellery.

Trifari was established by Italian Gustavo Trifari, Leo Krussman and Carl Fishel in 1925. The company began by creating jewellery for actors in Hollywood, which raised the profile of the brand. It also capitalised on the increase in interest in costume jewellery, which came about during the Great Depression, when women couldn’t afford expensive fine jewellery.

When renowned French jewellery designer Alfred Philippe (formerly at Van Cleef and Arpels) became involved in the design house, Trifari was transformed. Philippe remained at Trifari until his retirement in 1968 and it’s largely due to his vision that Trifari became a household name with pieces that are still collectible today. 

This piece has the signature Trifari TM indicating that it was manufactured during the 1980's. In 2000 Trifari was taken over by Liz Claiborne and the Trifari signature disappeared.
